UPDATE: |Celebrity Big Brother fans spot series ‘game player’ after ‘befriending’ JoJo Siwa as brother speaks out News

There was drama over the weekend in the famous compound as Mickey Rourke left the ITV1 show

Celebrity Big Brother fans think they have spotted the series ‘game player’ as they suggested they have ‘befriended’ JoJo Siwa.

There was drama over the weekend in the famous compound as Mickey Rourke left the ITV1 show on Saturday (April 12) after “further use of inappropriate language” and “instances of unacceptable behaviour”.

The Bafta-winning star of The Wrestler, 72, caused upset in the house from the start and made former Dance Moms star JoJo cry after making comments about her sexuality.

During Sunday’s (April 13) episode, before his removal, he told Big Brother in the diary room that his housemates “seemed happy” that he had not left during Friday’s eviction episode.

“They seemed happy, for some reason. I did my hardest to get out of here. You know, I always went against the machine, and I don’t want to go through life, like, with a clenched fist any more. I spent my whole life like this, and it gets hard. It wears you out.”

The episode also showed the events that led to his departure, including him using “sexual language” that made The Only Way Is Essex star Ella Rae Wise feel uncomfortable.

Mickey had made a sexual innuendo after Ella told him: “You gotta come with me, mate,” during the first shopping task of the series.

But during the episode, CBB fans were distracted by JoJoe and Chris Hughes’ blossoming friendship. But some have accused the former Love Island star of having a hidden motive.

@jaxfergkennedy31 fumed: “He is a game player , and she is an even bigger one!!” @melvinthe_pug replied: “100%.” @elizabeth_brittle22 commented: “Of course he’s befriended a massive celebrity from the U.S.A….makes so much sense.” @williamsjoanne shared: “Yep I agree! He will get guaranteed airtime.”

Others, however, are loving it. @dannyleebaker_ wrote: “I love their friendships so flipping much!” @paigemartinn__ posted “This is so beautiful seeing great friends like this.”

@___carlyanne added: “The friendship we love to see! They’re both comfortable with eachother. It won’t go as far as anything else but I’m glad they’ve found comfort. They level with eachother and I think that’s important in a house like that.”

Meanwhile, Chris’ brother, Ben, was quizzed on his sibling’s new friendship during an appearance on Lorraine on Monday (April 14). Taking to Kate Garraway, the presenter said: “The other thing that’s got people talking is Chris and this back tickling last night with JoJo, we know that they’re close but there they are lying in bed and he’s ticking her back, what’s going on there?”

Ben then replied: “I actually think that maybe they’ve formed a great friendship due to the fact that Chris stood up for JoJo. I think JoJo is in a solid relationship, Chris will know that and I just think that they’ve got each other’s backs.”
